My Bonnie Highland Lad Lyrics

As I came o'er the Cairney mount
And down amongst the blooming heather
The Highland laddie drew his dirk
And sheathed it in my wanton leather

Oh, my bonnie Highland lad
My handsome, charming Highland lad
When I am sick and laid in bed
He'll roll me in his Highland plaid

With me, he played his war-like pranks
On me boldly did adventure
He did attack me on baith flanks
And pushed me fiercely in the centre

Oh, my bonnie Highland lad
My handsome, charming Highland lad
When I am sick and laid in bed
He'll roll me in his Highland plaid

A furious battlе then begun
Wi' equal couragе and desire
Although he struck me three to one
I stood my ground and received his fire

Oh, my bonnie Highland lad
My handsome, charming Highland lad
When I am sick and laid in bed
He'll roll me in his Highland plaid

But our ammunition being spent
And we quite out of breath and sweating
We did agree with one consent
To fight it out at the next meeting

Oh, my bonnie Highland lad
My handsome, charming Highland lad
When I am sick and laid in bed
He'll roll me in his Highland plaid
